Results for "facebook IPO"

Twitter's per-click ad value has increased by 300% since last year, an Adobe report shows. In Q3 2012, revenue-generating websites earned on average $0.11 for every link click-through from Twitter; in Q3 2013, that figure was $0.44. That revenue-per-visit (RPV) is by far the highest-percentage per-click revenue growth for the period for any social network, including Facebook (39%) and Pinterest (150%). That news alone could help boost Twitter's per-share price range for tomorrow's long-awaited IPO, but the report shows even more sunny news for the company's viability as a marketing platform.

Candy Crush game maker King has filed for IPO in the United States to the tune of $5 billion, making it the largest IPO for a UK-based company in years. The S-1 filing echoes that of Twitter's recent IPO in that it lets the fast-growing company keep the move confidential, but the gigantic valuation can only be anything but "quiet", as the Telegraph described it.

Earlier this month Twitter submitted the paperwork required for its IPO to commence. One bit of information that we didn't know at the time Twitter announced it had filed its S-1 with the SEC for its IPO was which stock exchange would be handling the IPO for twitter. We have now learned that Twitter will be listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Facebook and Twitter have released new apps for iOS 7, borrowing the iPhone and iPad software's flatter UI style, among other features. The new Facebook for iOS tweaks the navigation, putting new News Feed, Messages, Notifications, and other shortcuts along the bottom of the News Feed display, in addition to adding gestures for those using the app on iOS 7.

Today Twitter has confidentially submitted an S-1 o the SEC in order to begin the process of their first (and only, of course) IPO. They've made this offering known in as plain a use of English as possible, adding that "this Tweet does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale." As you can probably guess: this announcement was made with a Tweet.

If you spend any amount of time on Facebook, you've likely either seen Candy Crush Saga notifications in the news feed, received invitations to play, or have dabbled in the game yourself. Such proliferation is indicative of the game's popularity, as well as others like it, which have reached such a level that the game's maker, Midasplayer International Holding Co., is seeking an IPO.

If you've been following the Facebook press events that have occurred over the past couple of years, you know one thing is rather apparent: they love to hold press conferences. Zuckerberg and the Facebook crew have held press conferences for everything from the opening bell on their IPO top an announcement about possible Facebook couponing. Here's the long and short it, it being the April 4th Facebook event: if Facebook wanted to make a Facebook phone, they wouldn't do it like this.

Facebook has improved its mobile app install ads service to allow developers to reach a much more specific user base with their ads. The mobile install ads service is a great tool for developers to make their mobiles apps more well known to the world. Many developers have seen their mobile apps downloads increase phenomenally after using the service. Social Quantum, an international game developer, saw its app become the #5 grossing app in the US within less than a month after using the service.

Twitter has launched Vine, a video sharing service that echoes the brevity of the 140-character limit by only allowing users to share up to six seconds of looping footage. Vine, launching initially on iPhone and iPod touch, is a free download, and is the result of an acquisition by Twitter of the Vine team. Basically, think adding movement and audio to your usual tweet brevity, for those times when actions speak louder than words.

In September, Facebook's shared dropped to their all-time low, leaving some worrying what would come of it all.

This is the first time they've broke the $30 mark since July 2012, and follows a quarterly revenue increase of 32-percent.
